All I can say is that any movie (and especially any zombie musical!) that casts Reggie “World’s Kick-Assiest Ice Cream Man” as the President of the United States gets a thumbs-up from me.

This internationally award winning zombie musical comes complete with sexy dancing zombies and a rock opera score. Political satire congeals with buckets of blood that appeals equally to fans from a multitude of genres. Song of the Dead is Night Of The Living Dead meets The Who’s Tommy with a splash of Shaun of the Dead. All across America, the Jihad Resurrection Virus (JRV) seeps into the pores of the dead, waking them from their sleep and ghoulishly transforming peaceful corpses into flesh-devouring zombies. News anchors and government officials are conveniently vague about the circumstances surrounding the biological release of JRV and subsequent zombie infestation. The President (Reggie Bannister, Phantasm films and Bubba Ho-Tep) calls upon Americans to unite and resist the treacherous terrorist attack. One Missouri family at the heart of this tragedy struggles to cope with existing internal conflicts while battling these bloody, malodorous zombie terrorists.

Or, to put it another way…

DVD extras (like you NEED any!) include the original short film from Fangoria’s Blood Drive that was expanded into this feature, and more behind the scenes stuff on the movie and the filming. $20.00 at Amazon.com.

You can also get the soundtrack CD at the official site (where you could buy the DVD, too).
